Things You Should Never Buy Used
[Slideshow: 20 Things You Should Never Buy Used.]
After we published this list,[url=http://duveticadoudoune.halod.com/][b]http://duveticadoudoune.halod.com/[/b][/url], we heard from hundreds of readers with their own ideas of what one should shouldn't used. In fact, many people took us to task for suggesting that a savvy shopper wouldn't be able to make the decision on a case-by-case basis,[url=http://rogerviviershoesshoponline.webmium.com/][b]Roger Vivier on sale online[/b][/url], staying away from the items that belong in the trash and snapping up the ones that still have value.
Stephen from California said the list made him ill. "Many of the issues you raise furniture, broken camera lenses, poor-fitting shoes the types of things that an astute buyer should be able to identify. The idea that expensive, high-quality items like SLR lenses and stereo speakers should only be used by one person regardless of their condition is disgusting," he writes.
Other readers agreed, pointing out that they have purchased used shoes, vacuum cleaners, clothing, cooking utensils,[url=http://peutereyjacketsuppliers.webmium.com/][b]Peuterey outlet[/b][/url], and other goods, saving money and suffering no ill effects. One reader added that he enjoyed second-hand pets, although only pet supplies the animals themselves on the original list. One consignment store owner, Mary Tyre of Florida,[url=http://peutereyjacketsuppliers.webmium.com/][b]peuterey jacket products[/b][/url], chimed in, saying she's sold everything from used diamonds to used socks. "There are ways to buy all of these safely I inspect everything I sell and only sell it if it is a good deal or completely safe. I keep up with all recalls," she says.
One mom of twins agreed, pointing out that children's furniture from rockers to dressers can be found on Craigslist for a fraction of store prices. (She agrees, however, that buying a new crib is often best, especially given all of the recent drop-side crib recalls.)
One college student said she recommends used shoes. In fact,[url=http://peutereyjacketsuppliers.webmium.com/][b]Peuterey men[/b][/url], she regularly trades pairs with her girlfriends to save money on a tight budget. Her tip? Use new inserts so the used shoes mold to your own feet, and freshen up second-hand sneakers by leaving them outdoors or using deodorizing sprays. She points out that anyone comfortable with rented bowling shoes should be fine with second-hand shoes.

Another thrifty reader says used swimsuits are just fine as long as you soak them in hydrogen peroxide first. One person even said he'd be fine with used undergarments as long as they were washed thoroughly,[url=http://parajumpersoutletjackets.webmium.com/][b]parajumpers outlet store[/b][/url]. He might be alone on that one.
Some readers also contributed to the list of what one should never buy used. They point out that coffee pots could have been used to cook methamphetamine, and suitcases and furniture can carry bed bugs. Used hot water tanks are probably for sale because they stopped working, one reader cautions. Medical equipment, such as compression socks, should be purchased new because they can contain fungus, warns Margaret of Montana, as she discovered first-hand. Another reader suggested buying televisions new, since it is often cheaper to buy a new one than to fix an old one.
What's on your list items do you refuse to buy second-hand?
I'd have to completely disagree with the part about buying laptops. You should really ONLY be buying used laptops. I recently purchased a used laptop off of ebay for $85 (including shipping) - after very minor repairs and additions I now have a laptop with: 320GB hard drive booting into multiple operating systems including 64-bit Windows 7, 64-bit Windows 8,[url=http://parajumpersoutletjackets.webmium.com/][b]parajumpers bear vest outlet Hampton Roads Technology Council[/b][/url], Ubuntu 11, Mac OS X Leopard,[url=http://peutereyjacketsuppliers.webmium.com/][b]Peuterey Jacket uk[/b][/url], etc. I also added parts - 4GB of RAM,[url=http://woolrichdeutschlandarcticparka.albirank.net/][b]woolrich deutschland[/b][/url], a Gigabit ethernet card, etc. The total cost after everything was set up was about $250. A brand new laptop with the same specs would cost me anywhere from $500 to $700 (if I purchase HP or Acer).
While you could argue that there is somewhat of a learning curve involved - having a local repair shop make the changes to your computer would still keep the cost down significantly. Monitor broken? You can get a replacement on ebay for $8.
